I am not a copyright expert still IMHO image copyright would need one more expert crosscheck since I am not sure how far a India based source YouTube channel would have access to Dinoša Montenegro. If tree is 100 plus years old some free images would be available in some book or old newspapers, I would suggest to see if you get any alternate free image. May be you can request help @ Wikipedia:Reference desk or WP:REREQ.

Meanwhile other than Image I will review rest of the hook soon. Cheers Bookku, 'Encyclopedias = expanding information & knowledge' (talk) 03:55, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The license of the picture has been checked and its fine. If anyone cared to load the small video to commons (or convert it into as gif) then that would be a great contribution. Victuallers (talk) 13:36, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Great idea @Victuallers: a gif would be tremendous. I wonder if @Theleekycauldron: could be imposed upon. Bruxton (talk) 13:51, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Victuallers and Bruxton: I'd be happy to help! Victuallers, how did you get the first image from the video without the two watermarks (the icon in the top right and the text watermark in the center)? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 18:47, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm curious about the watermarks for personal reference. I'm only able to remove watermarks on any of the sides with Windows Paint by cropping (although it was much better when I was a kid with no internet). Just shows how technically advanced I'm not. SL93 (talk) 19:13, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Victuallers and Bruxton: because my pings don't work theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 21:21, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@SL93 and Theleekycauldron: Thanks for the messages. I think the watermark is intermittent. But we could crop if one is present. I think it would make a great gif. For the photos I uploaded I cropped the watermarks out, and for some I simply erased them in a program I have. Bruxton (talk) 22:20, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@SL93 and Theleekycauldron: Yep wasnt me who cropped the images. However there are watermark(ish) free bits at 1 sec, 4 sec and 28 sec. I suggested a gif because you might only need a second of cycled action to imply a continuous flow. As an engineer I do find this article challenging. This implies that we could clone this tree and gather renewable hydropower from a forest of these trees. Hope the video is genuine. Victuallers (talk) 22:48, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Name

@Bruxton: I can't seem to find any sources to verify that "miraculous mulberry" is in any way a common name for this tree. Absent any such evidence, I think the page should be moved to "Dinoša mulberry tree" or another similar title. — RAVENPVFF · talk · 18:33, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Ravenpuff: I went with the name I thought was common. But I will accept your suggestion which seems correct. Your name also yields 32k on google whereas Miraculous Mulberry from Dinoša yields 5,830. Bruxton (talk) 18:42, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
